Rebrand aligns VC firm’s business and brand

Hot startups can pick and choose their venture capital partners. Silicon Valley VCs that can offer more than funding are better positioned to attract them.

Translink Capital was launched in 2007. Its founders are from traditional rivals China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. They each retain deep ties to Silicon Valley, and their home nations. This has enabled them to build a unique firm that offers startup founders strategic access to multinational sales networks and deep sector expertise.

After successfully closing several funds, Translink decided to work with Stepworks to refresh its brand before kicking off an expansion initiative.
